This book explores El Anatsui’s artworks at Talbot Rice Gallery in 2024 and the making of Scottish Mission Book Depot Keta – the artwork and exhibition – which was the most expansive presentation of the Ghanaian artist’s metamorphic forms ever seen in the UK. New essays, an interview with the artist and sumptuous images reconstruct the extraordinary exhibition which united his shape-shifting metallic bottle-top artworks, carved wooden reliefs, printed works on paper and an enormous installation of the façade of the 16th century University of Edinburgh.
